There’s not much to the “True Detective” teaser itself, but any HBO drama good enough to pull Matthew McConaughey out of the movies at the peak of his critical favor, as well as Woody Harrelson and Michelle Monaghan, who is very pretty, has got to be worth watching.

It centers on two detectives, Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) and Martin Hart (Woody Harrelson), whose lives collide and entwine during a 17-year hunt for a serial killer in Louisiana. The investigation of a bizarre murder in 1995 is framed and interlaced with testimony from the detectives in 2012, when the case has been reopened.

Good enough for me. The eight-episode first season begins in 2014. Here’s the teaser:
